document on the obama administration's and big us criteria for what americans could be incinerated by u.s. drones well apparently americans are in the dark about the fact that this is even happening in the poll from public mind shows that forty percent of voters think it's illegal for the government to kill americans abroad. and so cute no way the u.s. could be doing that because it's illegal to put these people probably don't realize that this administration has created a legal framework to make what would normally be illegal legal what's even more disturbing is that as long as it's not americans who are being executed people don't seem to care all of the same poll seventy five. percent of people approve of drone wars to target whatever the us brands as a quote national security threat is the this exact mentality is the problem this blind faith is what led to americans being the targets of assassinations without due process our silence is complicity in what we're going to wake up to this flawed logic when the predator drones are above our houses taking out our family and friends. loo
